Aloha! My name is Rachel Jay and I'm a wedding & portrait photographer living on Oahu, Hawaii. After 7 years of shooting weddings, big and small, I can say with confidence that you don’t have a thing to worry about when it comes to your photos. I love photography and helping my clients have the most amazing experience with me at their shoot. Hawaii is an incredible place to get married and spend quality time with loved ones. There is so much magic here! So let’s find some beautiful light and freeze time for an afternoon. I can’t wait to get to know you!

You might be wondering who the other ladies in this photo are, right? France Photographers is an intimate team of photographers located in Hawaii, San Diego, and Austin - 6 women total. We work closely together to run our business so we can focus on our client experience and the actual wedding day. Our business structure is pretty unique for photographers, but running a business together means nothing slips through the cracks, ever. I honestly don’t know how others go it alone!

Your experience with us

From shooting your engagement session to sharing our list of recommended vendors, we want to make sure you feel taken care of and celebrated leading up to the big day. As your details come together we will dive into creating your timeline so we can execute your wedding day plans flawlessly.

We want the experience of your wedding day to be the incredible, once in a lifetime, “Best Day Ever” you’ve always dreamed of. We take what we do seriously, but never ourselves. This means having FUN, helping you to pause and take it all in, and creating opportunities for you to make cherished memories with your favorite people. Facilitating these moments is why we love what we do!

We don’t believe your wedding photography experience is complete without a stunning custom album for you to relive your wedding over and over again. With our lives being lived mostly on our phones, its easy to forget how precious a physical product can be. We want to make you an heirloom that will stand the test of time and be a bridge for you to connect with your future generations.

"France Photographers was so wonderful to work with throughout our wedding planning. They literally create magic with their work! I never thought I would have as many beautiful pictures as I got from them. I highly recommend France Photographers to everyone!"

"We were blown away by the number of incredible photos we have - each one more amazing than the one before! Those moments mean the world to us, and now we will have them to cherish forever. France Photographers captured more than we could have dreamed of!"

"The pictures are stunning, there are really no words for how beautiful they are. I could go on and on but in other words: If you are looking for stunning pictures and a photography team that will make you feel comfortable on your wedding day, pick France Photographers! I wouldn't have traded their team with anyone else."

"Our photos of our wedding are priceless. Our home is covered in large prints of the moments France Photographers captured. Simply put, they have a great range of substance and style. If you want someone to truly capture the lively moments, the fun, laughter, excitement, and tears they've got it covered."

"When our Big Day arrived France Photographers were like ninjas - they captured everything! We have the most beautiful wedding album to memorialize what everyone had told us was "THE Best wedding they have ever been to." France Photographers was an essential part of that."

"France Photographers was in complete control of everything. We could just relax and enjoy the ride. They took some amazing photographs, things we requested (like a big group shot with all our guests), but also things we would never have thought of!"

"More than one guest commented how involved our photographers were and how they seemed to be "everywhere." France Photographers handled all of our requests for family, extended family, "oh shoot we forgot these people" photos and everything in between with ease and professionalism."

"France Photographers had a positive attitude (which was important when it was raining on the morning of our wedding day). They were great at giving direction and were able to handle large groups of people, which is not easy to do! I never once had to tell them what I wanted...they already knew!"

"I could not have asked for better wedding photographers. Every interaction with France Photographers was so easy despite our long distance relationship. Prior to the wedding I had only spoken to them via FaceTime. Even though we had never met in person I knew I was in good hands."

"The France Photographers team met and exceeded all of my expectations. There is NOTHING basic about their photography. They were able to capture all of the varied moods of the day - big cheesy smiles, tearing-up groom, sassy bridesmaids, proud parents, etc."
